COMMENTS

Esther Krinitz has literally woven the most shameful chapter in human history into a fabric of art that is at once both beautiful and shocking. It is so important that these works can be shown to the public.

The Honorable Przemyslaw Grudzinski, former Ambassador, the RepublicPoland

These extraordinary pictures are very moving….I was overwhelmed by what I saw.

Tom Freudenheim, former DirectorBerlin Jewish Museum

What Krinitz did was re-create her world in a way that is somehow truer and more vivid than a photograph or film.

Megan RosenfeldWashington Post

The high quality execution and honest charm of Krinitz’s body of intricate memory embroideries give unique and powerful testimony… Simply put, Esther Krinitz’s work ranks among the very best.

Rebecca Hoffberger, Founder and DirectorAmerican Visionary Art Museum

In over 80 years, no artwork has moved me as much as this exhibit. Apart from the sheer artistry and the pathos of the community’s destruction, the heroism and resourcefulness of this teenage girl is overwhelming.

This exhibit is a monument to those who either say ‘It’s not my business.’ or ‘There’s nothing I can do.’

I was able to use Esther’s art to teach my child about a dark period in our history…. Although 7, he left having learned something that otherwise would have been so hard to convey to a young child.

Inspired by the art and story of Holocaust survivor Esther Nisenthal Krinitz, Art and Remembrance uses art and personal narrative to recognize individual courage and resilience, and to foster understanding and compassion for those who experience injustice.
